Florida is a dangerous place for children and blacks.

It is a simple fact that the State of Florida is not a safe place for a child or a black person. I remember, under the oversight of Jeb Bush, one foster child after another turning up dead and all Jeb! ever had to say was "Another one of God's children was unloved". And of course, Casey Anthony was found not guilty after killing her daughter. Discrimination against blacks in Florida is a centuries-old problem. African Americans were systematically turned away from the polls in 2000 and again in 2012. And last night, a jury decided that a dead, rail-thin 17 year-old unarmed kid was more dangerous than a large adult with a handgun. Florida is just not safe.
